HC Deb 18 June 1959 vol 607 cc63-4W
59. Mr. Harold Davies

asked the Minister of Education what has been the total of Government grants for village halls made to villages in the Leek Parliamentary Division since 1951; and whether he is now prepared to quicken up this important social programme.

Sir E. Boyle

Since 1951 my right hon. Friend's grants amount to £2,182 for three projects. Voluntary bodies will continue to be able to apply for grants if they wish to.
